I don't think I have put anything on the blog since Tye's surgery. Christmas time was so busy. Anyway, we have seen some improvements and we still have some challenges. It has been 2 1/2 months and Tye has not had croup!!!! Except for a cold he has been very healthy which is not the usual for him. The challenge would be getting him to eat...according to our feeding therapist this is very typical for a child who has had G.I. problems. All he has known for the past two years is pain associated with eating. This will be the third week with Jennifer, our feeding therapist. I feel like she will be great at getting us back on track but it is going to be a lot of work for both me and Tye. We are starting to work with Tye on some behavioral problems like throwing food that have arised during eating. Right after the surgery Tye lost a pound. He gained back 8 ozs. and then this past week lost 5 ozs which was very discouraging. We will be meeting with the doctor tomorrow about his weight loss. He now only weighs 21 lbs. 6 ozs. We have a few months before the baby comes and hopefully we can get Tye eating and gaining before that time!
